61st JASC START!

Hey guys, it's certainly been a while!

I should apologize for my lack of writing on the blog-- I am afraid that I am just not cut out for such actions. Anyway, I figured I should probably update you all on what went down in Tokyo last weekend... The start of the 61st conference activities in Japan!

From Saturday the 2nd to Monday the 4th the newly selected delegates representing Japan gathered for a series of introductions, OB meetings, informational sessions, and roundtable pre

-conference discussions. I am not entirely sure about the new delegates, but I do know that the JEC as well as Mina and I had an extremely fun time. Each of the new delegates has their own unique personality with lots of hidden secrets to be uncovered... Yesterday I learned that one of our new delegates is skilled at barking like a dog (among other things)... It's something I am looking forward to hearing this summer. Posted below for your pleasure are a serious of pictures and videos from spring camp.

Here are the RTs! Just an FYI, not everyone is pictured. Also, I may have messed up name spellings... sorry!
